While there are a few hiccups here and there, the overall experience has been very positive, especially with the brand-new Thermal towers that can grant exquisite buffs to your territories, solving the hassle of getting the premium base spots.
There’s no need to wait for the server to reset and rush to a meta spot because you can make your own now with the help of the Thermal tower. Though you have to spend some time researching technologies, eventually, the buffs will help you progress faster.

9Animal Production Boost
Increases common and rare byproduct yield by one.
12 Feed each (Grain concentrate, Herbal Green, Meat Pellet)
140 Sintered Brick
60 Tungsten Ingot
Not many people are into breeding, as most players stick to the standard hides they find in the wild and use that to craft their gear.
Sincebreeding animals takes so much time, it’s a niche that only a few min-maxers prefer to go into.
However, if you want to chase a minor increase in damage and push your build to its ceiling, Animal Production boost allows you to obtain rare hides thatcan be used to craft armor pieces.
8Colossal Hunt
Weapons get 300% increased range and weapon damage in the thermal tower’s range and a boost to PSI intensity
120 Electronic Part
400 Stardust source
240 Gold Ore

There have been incidents of Chaosweavers spawning near players' bases or people building their hive headquarters near Chaosweavers' points, which poses an extreme risk to your territories' well-being.
With the increased range enabled on Thermal towers, youcan benefit from Colossal Hunt’s bonusesto shoot down Chaosweavers, and physical weaponeffects like Shrapnel, Fortress Warfare, and Fast Gunner receive a significant boost.
As of writing this guide, Elemental damage weapons are inferior to physical weapons against Chaosweavers.

6Full Combustion
Reduces Chaosium consumption by 30%
1200 Chaosium
120 Sintered Brick
60 Gold Ore
As you upgrade your Thermal tower,the Chaosium requirements will increase.You need Chaosium to keep running the Thermal tower as well.
Though it’s possible to get it by slaying enemies, the most efficient way is to run refineries and obtain it.
However, if you’re a casual player or a small hive and can’t dedicate a lot of time farming for Chaosium, unlocking this perk becomes essential, since it reduces Chaosium consumption over time.
5Lush Foliage
All plant crops have a 50% chance of producing an extra seed within the tower’s radiation range.
20 Fertilizer each(Growth boost, Breeding Boost, Yield Boost)
To get more seeds for a particular crop, you need to plant it with breeding fertilizer, which requires Scarlet Calamus to make.
In the recent patches,you may select multiple fertilizer ingredients, relieving the hassle of dedicated Scarlet Calamus farming.
However, you still need the fertilizer for increased seed yield. With this perk, you can get more seeds and avoid mass-producing the breeding fertilizer, thus freeing up some planter boxes for other crops.
4Chaosium Deviation
The deviation probability of all plant crops increases by 30% in the tower’s radiation range.
35 Fertilizer each (Growth Boost, Breeding Boost, Yield Boost)
240 Stardust Source
Usually, the most powerful food and drink bonusesrequire deviated ingredients that don’t spoil over time. So, it becomes vital to gather or plant those crops at your base.
You can use Buzzy Bees to increase the probability of deviated plants further; however, they have a limit per base.
That’s where this perk comes in clutch. With the increased probability of deviated crops, you may get a few extra deviated Mints for your favorite Canned Minty Meat, which increases M416 Silent Anabasis’s frost damage.
3Oil Exploration
The area within the Tower’s radiation range is considered an oil field.
240 Portable Mixed Fuel
20 Electronic Part

35 Steel Ingot

However, the Thermal Tower has solved that issue in the Way of Winter. With this perk, the area in the Thermal Tower’s range will be an oil zone, and thewater pumps can extract Barreled Crude Oil.
The refineries can process this to make Portable mixed fuel, a necessary ingredient to make Stardust sources with the Oil Processing specialization.

Not everyone’s lucky enough to get the Sulfur chemist perk that can helpyou make Acidat Synthesis benches. So, most players must stick to the old-school way of obtaining acid by processing Impure acids in Brewing barrels.

Oil Exploration and Stardust Control perks are irreversible changes to the area. Thus, be careful before activating them.
1Tower Reinforcement

That’s why having more durability is always helpful. Givea shoutout to the world chatand summon other players before you start purifying the tower.
Once you’ve begun the purification, other players can still teleport to your tower via the map.
